Clib.strstr() Method

This method searches a string for the first occurrence of a second string.

Syntax

Clib.strstr(sourceString, findString)

Returns

The string beginning at the first occurrence of findString in sourceString, continuing to the end of sourceString; otherwise, null, if findString is not found.

Usage

This method searches sourceString, from its beginning, for the first occurrence of findString. The search is case sensitive. If the desired result can be accomplished with the standard JavaScript substring() method, that method is preferred.

Example

The following code:

function Test1_Click ()
{
   var str = "We have to go to Haverford."
   var substr = Clib.strstr(str, 'H');
   TheApplication().RaiseErrorText("str = " + str + "\nsubstr = " +substr);
}

results in the following output:

str = We have to go to Haverford
substr = Haverford
